eric, i believe the crossmember you are looking for is the same for all years. i also think the pillowblock brg. mounts where rivets normally would be to hold the upper and lower halfs together. the factory just omitted these . at least this seems to be the case on my 46 and 49 frames. same as the rear most crossmember for the draw bar option?this is of course speculation as i do not own a draw bar or a rear pto. but the rivet holes are empty and don't appear to have been messed with. they are also non symetrical from the rivet hole pattern so leaving them open wouldn't compromise the strength of the crossmember. i got my two crossmembers from doug higgins in monument co.also vpw said they could supply them although this was a couple years ago. hope this helps, jim.
